Almost upright

I'm almost walking upright yay for my back! It's amazing how everyday gets a little better. Tomorrow I should get my staples out and I get the ultrasound massage and red light therapy I get it every other day and it's amazing. When I go the doctor comes down and checks on me the hospital is really cool because all they do is plastic surgery and they have the surgeons offices there an the spa so everyone is on the same page and very friendly. I love it!! 

I'm getting used to my boobies they aren't feeling like an elephant on my chest anymore more like a kitty.lol I had a DD before weight loss surgery and don't remember them being so heavy.
The bruising from the Lipo is NASTY I will. PosT a pic of my back .
Being here in Mexico by myself I have become completely addicted to Netflix and Facebook.

Thank you for sharing your journey.
I'm reading up on reviews for Dr. Arenas as my daughter and I are considering him.
How are you?
You looked amazing right after surgery before swelling.
I didn't see pics after swelling and brusing.
Did everything heal good?and are you happy with the results? Did the fat stay in your booty? (I heard it will sometimes not stay)
Thanks and you can private message me if you prefer.
Happy NEW Year!!

37 , 4 Kids Gastric Sleeve Almost 2 Years Ago

bluiz2477February 17, 2016
I had my surgery January 6th in Guadalajara Mexico. I love my doctor he did an awesome job listened to everything I wanted and delivered. I had Gastric Sleeve 2 years ago and lost 90 pounds I put 15 back on purposely for the surgery so there would be enough fat to transfer to my butt .Surgery went well it was about 7 hours. I got aggressive Lipo to the arms, thighs, back and flanks, a full lower body lift , Brazilian butt lift and breast lift with 475cc gummy bear high profile round implants. The first few days sucked especially since I am here in Mexico by myself.

Getting close

I paid the surgeon in full today! One step closer to the new sexy me. I am trying to gain a little more weight because I am scared Dr. Arenas wont have enough fat to transfer to my booty. has anyone went in thinking that they were getting a BBL and wake up without having it done due to lack of fat?

I am so shocked that you had so much done for such a small price tag!!! Did that include the anesthesia, recovery, etc, or was that just for the surgery itself? Very curious. And congratulations!!
